ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਗੁਰ ਸੇਵਾ ਹੋਈ ॥
poorai bhaag gur sayvaa ho-ee.
By perfect destiny, one serves the Guru.
ਨਦਰਿ ਕਰੇ ਤਾ ਸੇਵੇ ਕੋਈ ॥
nadar karay taa sayvay ko-ee.
If God grants His Grace, then one serves.
ਜਮਕਾਲੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਨੇੜਿ ਨ ਆਵੈ ਮਹਲਿ ਸਚੈ ਸੁਖੁ ਪਾਇਦਾ ॥੧੦॥
jamkaal tis nayrh na aavai mahal sachai sukh paa-idaa. ||10||
The Messenger of Death cannot even approach him, and in the Mansion of the True Lord's Presence, he finds peace. ||10||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
When the moment is right and grace touches me, I find myself serving the Guru.
Then even death holds no fear — it cannot trouble the one who rests in the True Home. There, in that home inside, there is peace.
Where grace has made its home, fear cannot follow.
Where grace and service are, fear — including the fear of death — cannot reach. In Maaroo, the raag of death and battle, death becomes a doorway to peace in the True Home (mahal sachai).
